I need to get a new watch. It correctly reads the time as 4:12PM but 3 hours later it reads 8:00PM. Two hours after that it reads 10:32PM. What time will it read when it's actually 3:42AM?
Answer
6:46am. Each hour past 4:12pm the watch reads 1 hour and 16 minutes later than it read the hour before. It follows that 11.5 hours later (at 3:42am) it would be reading 184 minutes, or 3 hours and 4 minutes, faster than the actual time.
